Battery Options
Within the world of material handling, electric-powered vehicles typically utilise two types of batteries: lithium-ion (Li-ION) and lead-acid. Each comes with its own advantages, but when choosing which battery type is right for your forklift, the primary deciding factors come down to maintenance, price, efficiency, sustainability, application and TCO (total cost of operation).
Which Battery Solution is Right For You?
Lithium
Lithium-ion batteries have key benefits over lead-acid batteries, particularly for multi-shift use.
- Lower energy consumption
- Say goodbye to maintenance
- Lower lifetime cost
- Charge on the go
- Constant battery power
- Batteries you can depend on
Lead Acid
Lead-acid batteries are versatile and available in various capacities for all applications.
- Pay less upfront
- Low maintenance
Enhanced Lead Acid
This technology combines the advantages of lead-acid batteries with the fast charging of lithium-ion batteries.
- Traditional lead-acid with charging benefits
- The latest advanced technology
- Higher output from the same footprint
- Cheaper than lithium
- Constant battery power
